5108 PSU in "Redundant Standby Mode - Flashing Green

[carroll.reynolds1]

I have a Cisco 5108 with 4 PSUs. PSU1 and 4 are flashing green lights (According to the CISCO UCS 5108 Server Chassis Installation Guide a blinking green light indicates the AC power is present but the PS is either in redundancy standby mode or is not fully seated.) PSU2 and 3 are solid green.

I reseated PSU1 and 4 but they are still flashing green. How do I remove the redundant standby mode (it is causing errors in the CISCO logs)?

Carroll,

What power policy are you using for the environment?

Is it currently set to Grid?

Power is set to N+1

Carroll,

I suspect there might not be much draw in the chassis, but before we look into that, what errors are you seeing?
